Haemosporidiasina (Haemosporidia) is a subclass of apicomplexans described by Jacques Euzéby in 1988. The taxon is very similar to the taxon of Aconoidasida.
Haemosporidiasina is divided into 2 orders:
Order Chromatorida (with pigmented intraerythrocytic parasites)
Suborder Laveraniina
Order Achromatorida (with non-pigmented intraerythrocytic parasites)
Suborder Babesiina includes agents of piroplasmosis sensu stricto
Suborder Theileriina includes parasites of erythrocytes and diverse white blood cells with sexual reproduction by exoerythrocytic or by exo- and endoerythrocytic schizogony.
